Question

Consider the scatter plot.

Which point is an outlier?



(8.8, 5.2)

(1.5, 5.9)

(5.1, 8.5)

(3, 7.7)

Answer 1

(8.8 , 5.2)

Explanation:

All other points are following almost the same trend

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

An outlier is a data point that seems like it shouldn't belong; it could be extremely small or extremely big or simply not even a part of the correlation.

Looking at the scatter plot, it's quite clear that there is one point far from the others. This will be the outlier.

Observe its coordinates; they are about (8.8, 5.2).

So, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!
